FWIW, the PL-1500 are too small, we need at least the PL-1650.

Given the "ridiculous" [1] price (see below), I would go for shiny new
hardware.
[1] I know that in a volunteer project like Debian any price is not

If my estimations are correct, one *single* box should costs around 770
USD, Pelicase *included*:
<http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Events/DebianEventsBox?action=diff&rev1=18&rev2=19>
[300 USD] 1x case
[200 USD] 1x demo PC
[080 USD] 1x 17" LCD
[070 USD] 1x keyboard/mouse
[070 USD] 1x Wi-Fi AP with a 4-port hub
[020 USD] 2+ power strips with worldwide adapter
[020 USD] various network/VGA/USB cables
[000 USD] lockable cash box

[000 USD] merchandise
Thx, bye,
